I was in for eight years, I let better men than me do the soldiering now. I still work on Fort Stewart though. I try to give back to the guys that give up a chance at having a stable family since I'm not willing to do that any longer.

Can't blame you a bit! It is definitely a sacrifice. thanks for your service! I missed Vietnam by just a bit. They called all the senior boys into the cafeteria and had us sign up for the draft. They were not drafting any longer (If I remember correctly) but you still had to sign up. We were already pulling out, though, so there really wasn't much of a chance of being selected unless things escalated again. I would have gone, but I am glad I didn't have to, now.

Any way...thanks for being willing to serve for eight years!
